Chapter 295 You Are Important To Me
She did not know how much time had passed when a strong hand pulled her and the child in her arms aside.
Luke tightly grabbed onto Bianca, and his face was pale. "Are you an idiot, Bianca? Don't you know that what you did was very dangerous?" He said angrily.
He counted his lucky stars that the young mother fiddled with a lever or a button and managed to stop the motorboat right before it struck Bianca.
The motorboat was only one fist's distance away from Bianca and the child. If she had been a split second slower in stopping the boat, an unimaginable disaster would have happened.
When Luke saw that scene, he could feel his world crumbling around him.
His leg muscles were pumping as hard as they could as he ran toward Bianca, though his body was shaking. When he saw that Bianca was safe, his face was contorted by the fear and anger in his heart.
It was a dangerous scene.
"He's... he's still a child, and he doesn't know what to do. If I didn't save him, he would've been badly injured or died under the boat. I didn't think too much; all I knew was that I had to save him," Bianca explained. Even now, she could not believe that she had done that out of instinct.
Perhaps that was the instinct of every mother.
Luke was a man who did not know how to take care of children. He could not understand it.
Luke saw that Bianca was starting to feel afraid and yelled at her, "Even if you don't think about yourself, at least spare a thought for me and the children. Promise me, Bianca, promise me that you won't do this ever again. The children and I can't afford to lose you."
He did not know what to do if he really lost Bianca.
Bianca and the children's safety was his top priority. No one else could compare.
The sensation of nearly losing her almost drove him crazy.
"My son!" A portly middle-aged man shouted while he ran over. Tears were almost falling from his eyes.
The man had stepped out of the glass dome for a smoke, but he did not expect that his son would encounter a near-fatal accident.
His heart nearly shattered when he saw the motorboat rammed toward the little boy.
He was too far away, and he would not reach his son in time.
The boy was his only son after many years of marriage...
Suddenly, he saw a young woman shielding his son under her embrace. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Fortunately, the motorboat managed to stop in time.
If something happened to his son, how should he explain it to his wife and parents?
The father examined the son and made sure that the little boy suffered no harm. He turned around and wanted to thank Bianca, but he choked on his words when he heard Luke reprimanding Bianca.
Those words of gratitude were stuck in his throat, and he was unable to say them.
Luke was livid, but he had to gaze at Bianca gently.
The man was incredibly handsome, and he stood out in a crowd of normal people. Now that he was angry, the people around him felt a chill coursing down their spines, and they looked at him with fear.
"Boo hoo... boo..." Rainie ran over and fell into Bianca's arms. Her face was wet with tears.
She was shocked by the scene earlier and was afraid that the motorboat might run over her mother.
Lanie's eyes were red. He tugged the hem of Bianca's shirt tightly, and he sounded like he was sobbing. "You gave us such a fright earlier, Mommy. Thank goodness you're fine..."
Bianca was also very afraid. Fortunately, she was not hurt.
Her heart wrenched when she looked at her two cute children. If something had happened to her, what should Lanie and Rainie do?
Of course, those were mere hypotheticals. In an emergency, she did not have the time to consider that.
Luke's anger subsided when he saw that Bianca's hands that were hugging her children were shaking. All that was left was a strong sense of tenderness.
Under the public eye, he hugged her tightly.
Her head dug into his chest. Luke might be acting more gently, but his tone of voice remained harsh. "Don't cry. I won't be angry at you. Even if you want to be a hero next time, you ought to consider your position first. To me, you are very important."
The boy looked at the pretty woman who had just saved him and at her two children. They were crying, and so he started bawling too. The middle- aged man tried his best to comfort his child while the onlookers whispered with each other.
The young mother, who had nearly caused an accident, got off the motorboat and apologized incessantly to Bianca, but Luke reprimanded her sternly.
Luke's anger was raging.
He was used to being a boss, and he treated the young mother as one of his subordinates. She struggled to catch a breath under Luke’s forceful presence and wished that she could disappear into a hole under her feet.
The young mother's daughter was about the same age as Lanie and Rainie. Seeing that her mother was being scolded by a fierce man, she started bawling too.
Luke shot a savage glance at the young girl. "Shut up!" He roared.
He never showed any mercy toward crying children, even his own!
The little girl was used to being pampered. She bawled even louder when she saw Luke's horrific expression and heard Luke's rebuke.
The young mother knew that it was her fault and she dared not talk back to Luke. She crouched down and tried to comfort her daughter.
The scene was very chaotic, with multiple children crying...
The staff of the theme park received notice of the incident and rushed over.
Luke sternly warned the theme park staff that they should temporarily shut down operations and only resume after the equipment had been certified safe.
Then, he went away with Bianca and the two children.
When Shandra arrived at the hospital, Xavier was still wrapped in bandages and lying on the hospital bed.
He leaned lazily on the headboard and ate fruits.
Shandra glanced at him curiously. Tve heard that you've been beaten badly, my old schoolmate, and that's why I've come to visit you. If I knew that you're so 'energetic,' I shouldn't have come."
Xavier tossed a purple grape into the air and caught it with his mouth. He was having fun.
He took out a napkin and elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth. "Even if you don't come today, I'll still be contacting you in the next few days. You should know the situation on my side. I want to know how I can stop Bianca from divorcing me and get the court to withdraw the application. If it really comes down to getting a verdict in court, what are our chances of winning?"
Shandra's eyes sparkled. 'If Walter Long isn't Bianca's defending lawyer, I can say that our chances of winning are almost a hundred percent."
